Dingdong ~
After the signal light at the head of the bed Alvarez sat up from the bed, sighed, and used his hand to pass through his short-cut black hair, then closed the leather-bound Astartes's sacred sacred pressed against his knees, stood up and walked to the mirror of his simple dorm.
The dim lighting ball illuminated his angular, clean-shaved face.
This was his first real rest in such a long time, but he was used to being on guarding against the surrounding environment for a long time and could no longer achieve real sleep.
Even that dull sacred book could not help him.
Washed his face with clean water, opened a can of iced battle group special drinks, the Red Ant Beef, and drank it all, Alvarez came to the martial arts room and put on a robe. The armor was quietly placed on the armor stand next to him - his original armor had been replaced by brand new armor, and the painting turned into midnight blue mixed with lightning. He still needed to adapt to the strange soul of the machine, but there was no big problem.
They have been on-the-fly in the Void and Subspace for three days, and most of these days he has been reviewing the equipment of the mysterious company and helping the warriors maintain their Kentka Terminator.
But today he won't go to the Armory because he has an invitation.
"Yo, here we come."
As soon as he turned a passage, he heard a short laugh coming from the front.
Under the light, a figure leaned against the wall with his hands in his chest. When he approached, he saw that it was Sabrin. He was also wearing a gray robe with blue edges and his neatly combed short black hair was shiny under the light. This was also one of the reasons why Alvarez quickly became familiar with this strange brother - he paid great attention to instrumentation.
Seeing Sabrin, Alvarez showed his rare smile.
"Hello, brother Sabrin, I hope I'm not late."
"Of course not."
Sabrin led the other party through several doors and took a lift to a wide hall.
The hall is like a meeting place of some kind, with huge chairs and tables everywhere. On the left is an arena, and some warriors are competing. Gladiator is the most basic culture of Astart. Whether it is any legion or war group, empire or traitor, there must be a corresponding culture. Warriors always need an opponent to hone their skills.
In addition to the arena, there are also some entertainment facilities, such as high-speed targets used to throw darts. The speed of those targets is almost a shadow in the eyes of ordinary people, and the warriors need to use the darts in their hands to hit them accurately.
Some warriors gathered on the edge of the huge table, with various battlefield terrain on the table. They used small human-shaped chess pieces to simulate battles, and various parameters were completely deduced by various dice.
"What are your rules? Why is your green-skin boss shooting so high? This is unreasonable..."
At this time, Alvarez also discovered one thing, that is, the servants in this place were all young women, and they were all wearing black long skirts, with white bibs on their outside, and a white gauze hat on their heads. Whenever they walked, the hem of the skirt swayed slightly, which looked a bit like...
Maid?
Aware of Alvarez's surprised eyes, Sabrin chuckled and explained as he walked.
"It's all Li Lin. When this midnight rally was built, I was just an organic servant, but what that guy said was boring and had no special features, so he had to make an anonymous vote... In the end, it became like this."
"Ha, Brother Li Lin is indeed an interesting person. Didn't Company Commander Talos say anything?"
"The company commander never cared about this kind of thing. He always said that you are happy."
The two came to a bar counter in the hall to sit side by side. Their muscular body dwarfed the ordinary wooden chair. Behind the bar is a maid wearing glasses, with black hair, combed into two short braids hanging around her ears, and the buttons on her collar were buttoned up. In addition, the white gloves on her hands made her almost only facial skin exposed to the air. There was a golden eagle pendant between the ups and downs on her chest, coupled with her fair and elegant face, and slightly cold eyes, which had a unique dignified and delicate temperament.
She was not surprised by the appearance of the two Space Marines. She just nodded slightly, put down the action of wiping the wine glass, and then said softly:
"Sir Sabrin, what do you need?"
"Give me a cup of aging."
Then he looked at Alvarez.
"Kaiya's bartending skills are good. What flavor do you need?"
"I, ha, I just drank it with the blood from the heart of children-"
Dong--
A sound made Alvarez turn her head and find that the maid "smashed" the cup on the table with a bad face, and then turned to get something. It was obvious that she heard Alvarez's words just now and used this to express her mood.
If it were in the past, Alvarez would have made this mortal pay a terrible price - it would be quite stupid to throw a tantrum in front of Space Marines.
"She is Li Lin's servant. You may not know that she dared to fight with Li Lin when she first met her, but she has some skills. By the standards of mortals, she is more capable, and she manages this place very well."
"Ha, that's really fun, just drink anything."
Alvarez smirked, no longer following the maid, but turned around to look at the whole assembly.
“A unique culture…”
Sabrin took the goblet handed over by Kaiya, took a sip of the orange liquid, and whispered:
"There is no way, because it's hard for us... to get along with other companies in the battle group, most of the time we have to live in a group. Whether it's training or rest, try to avoid going to public places. Over time, it's like this. Not only are there on board, but also on monastery fortresses, but being with brothers is nothing, right?"
"Um."
Alvarez nodded, brother, he really felt this, which was the most comfortable thing for him during this period. When everyone greeted each other, joked about each other, instead of those chattering full of sub-space nonsense.
"Are you still used to it during this period?"
"Fortunately, at least I can lie in the bed safely without being ready to grab the weapon at the head of the bed at any time, and walking in the boat doesn't need to turn around and shoot at any time, let alone worry that the wall suddenly turns into a demonic mouth, clean food, clean residence, and so much valuable work... I have to say that your armory is really luxurious."
"Yes, that's because you haven't seen the Armory of the Avesta and the Monastery Fortress."
"Well, speaking of it, did that Queen of Glory not participate in the expedition?"
